A guidance apparatus for an autonomous vehicle and a method therefor are provided. The guidance apparatus includes a first guidance device that guides a passenger in the autonomous vehicle through first response information, a second guidance device that guides a rescuer outside the autonomous vehicle through second response information, and a controller that controls guidance on the first response information and guidance on the second response information, when abnormality occurs in the autonomous vehicle.

A collision avoidance device, includes a license plate frame, a first sensor mounted to the license plate frame to determine a distance of a following vehicle to the license plate frame and a second sensor mounted to the license plate frame to determine a velocity of the license plate frame, a logic circuit electrically coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor, wherein the logic circuit, determines a safe trailing distance between the license plate frame and the following vehicle based upon the velocity of the license plate frame and determines whether the following vehicle is closer than the safe trailing distance to the license plate frame and a warning light is coupled to the license plate frame to illuminate the license plate frame if the following vehicle is closer than the safe trailing distance.

The present invention relates to an portable emergency situation display device for a vehicle, the device having a cover that closes the upper part of a case so that a warning display unit is not exposed to the outside when the warning display unit and a road safety image display unit are accommodated in the case, and thus damage to the warning display unit is prevented, wherein the warning display unit is fixed, at a certain angle, to an angle adjustment protrusion, formed on a support, while moving and rotating by means of spring elasticity, so as to maintain an accurate angle and prevent movement of the warning display unit, and a movement prevention unit is mounted at the lower part of the case so as to be exposed or retracted, thereby supporting the lower part of the case and minimizing shaking.

A vehicle control apparatus starts driving trouble tackling control designed to decelerate and stop an own vehicle when it is determined that a driver is in a driving trouble state where the driver has trouble driving the own vehicle, then start a deceleration process at a predetermined timing as a process of driving trouble tackling control, and then start a hazard lighting process at a predetermined timing as another process of driving trouble tackling control. The vehicle control apparatus stops driving trouble tackling control when a hazard switch is operated during the performance of the hazard lighting process, and starts the hazard lighting process without stopping the driving trouble tackling control when the hazard switch is operated between a timing when it is determined that the driver is in the driving trouble state and a timing when the hazard lighting process is started.

The invention relates to the field of vehicle technologies, and aims to solve a technical problem that when light control for avoidance of a vehicle is improper, traveling safety of the present vehicle, traveling safety of vehicles ahead for which light is controlled for avoidance, and/or safety, walking experience, etc. of the pedestrians for whom light is controlled for avoidance are/is affected to some degree. To solve the technical problem, embodiments of the invention provide a vehicle control method and apparatus, a control apparatus, a vehicle-mounted device, a vehicle, and a computer-readable storage medium. The control method includes: detecting target objects in front of a vehicle; determining whether the target objects are on a traveling path of the vehicle; and performing light control for avoidance for the target objects based on a determination result in a predetermined manner. With this setting, a strategy of light control for avoidance for a target object can be made by learning a traveling path of the target object, such that impact on traveling safety of the present vehicle, traveling safety of vehicles ahead for which light is controlled for avoidance, and/or safety, walking experience, etc. of the pedestrians for whom light is controlled for avoidance are/is kept as little as possible.
